NOTICE: CENTRAL RESEARCH THE SITUATION OF HUMAN
THE GRAND RETURN OF PATASSE
Without fanfare? This is not his style. The man has always opted for flamboyance. A personal attitude, a political stance as well, which suits him as he was a character. In the Central loaded with symbolism, like Throughout Africa, the self-representation gives a stature that differentiates and warrants. Renegade of his own party the Movement for the Liberation of the Central (MPLC), Patassé (AFP) was immediately placed outside the political arena that engage government and the opposition. By force of things first and then he presents strategy in independent candidate! Since it stands alone and strives to avoid futile partisan wrangling. Resolutely turned towards the future, " the past is past ..." he likes to hammer, AFP is little man crying over his fate. Where some people have returned in haste to claim the status quo ante, restitution of a power that eventually it had been "stolen", many believe he was entitled to do so-Patasse has chosen face once again the popular verdict. Neither victim nor loser AFP. A flying altogether. Assured of popular support in view of the jubilation that accompanied his return "triumphant" in Bangui. This fight is
he knows in advance the win against opponents baffled, bewildered by a return they wanted clearly not. Only voila, "the wolf is (already) in the fold." Initial delays in turnovers, the Central African political class tries in vain to save what she can do is to say appearances! Now the (many) fights Patasse are already elsewhere. The field of social, good governance, human rights, environment, modernity ... It is on these foundations then that AFP wants to rebuild the Central to make it fully enter into the twenty-first century. And some argue that this is a Western view of reality, or that the mission is not impossible, to advance doomed to failure because too ambitious. The harshest of these "Afro pessimists refer precisely the historical process of the West to discredit the project" ridiculous "to Patassé. With the aplomb that he knows that man, soaked in the placidity that irritates, responds to its critics. He sweeps the back of his rhetorical verve to ask that "no people need to trace the history of others to achieve their levels ! . Learnedly explains that he can do it all at the same time, that time allows. " should jump on the train, walk, modernity without taking into account previous rulings .... " It is well said. He who has traversed the history of the Central has had, each time to renew. And castigate the conservatism which is inclined to inaction, this "culture of the status quo"! " This is not Africa that I know, this is not the Central I want to know ! . Enough said. Everything he says he wants to. All he wants is determined to tell. AFP is again steeped in openness. "Those who we want work, those with whom we must work, must know what you do for them. What you will do with them ! . More than a profession of faith, he is talking about a participatory approach, vertical. The horizontal model of human management has shown its limits as it has failed everywhere in Africa. The present time is that of "co-determination of destiny". Now more than ever, "living together" is to do together!
He who knows and can do this is the man for the situation in CAR.
And that man is Patassé.
returns in grand! EMERY-UHINDU
